motorcycle

I've travelled like 17 states by motorcycle... I'm not talking about weekend trips or vacation time for a week once a year... I'm talking, long term. Anyways, I lived like that on and off for the past few years... I been riding motor cycles all my life, but actually living off a bike, maybe 2...

Hello... I'm a former truck driver. Now in VA but I go to nj a lot. Currently looking for a ride, due to my pickup being broke down, and too cold to go on two wheels.

So I had been working for like 14 days straight at the hostel so I convinced my boss to give me a couple days off and take my shifts. So, my buddy who owns the bike and I went across the Peninsula on his motorcycle. I really needed a break and he needed to get out of his head for a while. Was a...

This past winter in northern New England had me itching to travel. I really wanted to get out of the frozen wonderland I call my home and travel the vast of this place we call America. As much as my troubled mind wanted to leave I just couldn't leave behind my bike. Riding the mountain valleys...

Anyone here know how hard it is to build a motorcycle? I am considering building one, because the idea of riding around the country on a motorcycle with my bag sounds awesome to me. I don't know where to start though. Any advice is appreciated.

***things will be added to thread as I go along*** First, I’ll describe myself because I think a person’s background has bearing on the advice they dispense: I’m 35, white, female. Grew up lower middle class in suburbs of CT. Been riding since I was 19 y/o. Now I’ll describe my ride and setup...

Hi, all: I've been reading this forum a lot the past couple months, getting ready for an extended, rambling road trip around the States. Sold all my things, got my bike ready, last day on the job is Friday. Thanks to all you who have shared your knowledge and stories here! My hope is that when...

So my brother is currently riding his motorcycle down the 101 in California right now, and he's going to be riding back up from Los Angeles up through moab Utah. He's blogging about it here for anyone that's interested: www.travistriumph.com

I have a 1982 suzuki gs750t. Picked her up on Craigslist for $150 bucks, put im some elbow grease and about a hundred bucks in parts and she runs great now. Considering road dogging on my bike. Not sure if it is a good bike to take across the country, considering how old it is and it has about...

It's road worthy, but it could use some work. First gear knocks (difficult to fix) but works, 2nd-6th gears are perfect. The chain is loose but can still be tensioned, I can do that. Oil needs changing, I can do that too. Motor mount bolt is busted could be fixed cheap. One fork seal is leaking...

Anyone do it long term? I have a 76 Kawasaki kz750b. It's got a kick start and is nimble as fuck. It's not a speed racer, but it's great for actually doing the speed limit. I was out today and found a piece of angle iron and I'm making a luggage rack for it. Id like to get to the squat the...

While hitchhiking today, I got a ride with a motorcyclist! That is something that I've never read about in anybody's hitching stories! It was a really good thrill and change of pace! Anybody else ever get rides on vehicles with something other than four wheels?
